Two submarine sailors in critical condition
OTTAWA - Two sailors injured in a fire aboard the HMCS Chicoutimi are in critical but stable condition, one day after a sailor on the boat died from smoke inhalation in the blaze.
Both are being treated for smoke inhalation at the Sligo General Hospital in Ireland.
Helicopter view of the rescue.
One is in the coronary care unit and the other has been moved into intensive care. The doctors said their condition had worsened overnight and that they expected the sailors to be in hospital for "some time."
The three men were airlifted from the stricken HMCS Chicoutimi late Wednesday.
Lieut. Chris Saunders, a 32-year-old combat systems engineer from Saint John, N.B., died while being airlifted to a Northern Ireland hospital. The two other sailors were then diverted to Sligo General Hospital.
